20k yearly scholarship</p>

<p>I was deferred from Duke yesterday and obviously Duke is a bit of step up from Case…i’m not really planning on going to Case (i can go to PSU for $5k yearly) so i’m a little sad that i might have taken a spot from someone who was deferred. Case was a back-up, but its nice to have a school to consider (first school acceptance).</p>

<p>BEST OF LUCK TO DEFERRALS! I’m going to work hard at it to try and get into Duke where two of my close friends got in and i didn’t D:, even though the odds are low; you guys who want Case shouldn’t give up either. Good luck and congratulations to the Case Western Class of 2015</p>
